The easyHotel group’s plan to open in Sheffield is steaming ahead. Now the group is set to open in Leeds after conditionally acquiring a site in the centre of the city.

EasyHotels have secured the former Waring & Gillow furniture store site in the centre of Leeds and close to main shopping centres: The Victoria Quarter, The Light scheme and Trinity shopping centre.

The building, which dates from 1922, originally housed The Scala Theatre.

A  94-bedroom easyHotel  Leeds with an expected opening in 2018 is the plan – subject to planning approval being granted.
